The first meeting and AGM is a good starting point if you want to actively support the school. The agenda is below. A Parent Council report will be made available prior to the meeting and a short induction will be part of the business on the night.

The Parent Council are happy to announce Neil McCallum is the successful candidate for Head Teacher at Balerno High School. He is currently Depute Head Teacher at James Gillespies, a well performing high school in Edinburgh.

Information has gone out on wisepay to parents/carers and staff/pupils have been informed.

We’d like to thank Parent Forum members for your help during this process, particularly if you took part in the headteacher survey. We’d also like to thank Balerno pupils who interviewed a very strong list of potential candidates.

We look forward to welcoming Mr McCallum to the school in the very near future.
